As a vulnerable, minority road user group, we need to ensure that vehicle drivers know that they can not just go around physically and verbally abusing cyclists. I was recently involved in an attack by a vehicle driver on a cyclist. I am not a legal expert, but following discussions with police, other cyclists and on various internet discussion forums, I have developed a list of actions to maximise the chance for legal … more »
Sorry for the long post, but I thought I would share this incident with my fellow cyclists.

I fitted them with Vittoria Rubino Pro tyres and Ultralite tubes and a Shimano HG50 12-21 close ratio cassette. Initially, I … more »
I love my Cell Bikes Mallet II custom fixie. I spec’ed it with a yellow frame and all other options black. I removed all decals and logos. The bike looks great and I get lots of comments on it. I have nicknamed it Bumblebee. I ride for training and fitness. I bought the fixie as an alternative to my Fuji Absolute 3.0 flat bar alloy road bike. The fixie is a different riding … more »
Kudos to Goldcross Cycles in Fortitude Valley for giving my Fuji Absolute 3.0 flat bar road bike a free ‘flood service’ — it was totally submerged in the January 2011 Brisbane flood. I expected Goldcross Cycles to find at least one part that needed replacing so that they could make some money out of it, but no, nothing, totally free! Well done guys.
